Chapter Ninety-Six: Jiang Wen

In fact, police and gangster films have always been the subject of Hong Kong movies!

A Sir is full of style, suits and leather shoes, shiny cars in and out, and can even be seen as a fashion film, of course, if you watch too much, it will be a bit of a routine...

After "Infernal Affairs", only "Chills" can fight a little...

Pushing new layers is a difficult thing in itself!

Liu Tianwang wants to try a police film in the mainland, if the box office is good, it will be a good story to spread it.

To be honest, "Red Cliff" didn't use him, he was quite aggrieved - as we all know, Andy Lau has always wanted to play Zhao Yun!

"Red Cliff" doesn't need him, it just so happened that Li Ren just looked for him, so "Flying Saucer Hat - See the Dragon Unloading the Armor"...

But he is very cautious about Lu Xiaoran, and it is normal, after all, it is the first time to cooperate, and Xiao Lu Zi is not famous in Hong Kong - "Border" was not released in Hong Kong at all.

After learning about the rival actors, he learned that it was Jiang Wen who played Huazi, and he nodded with satisfaction.

Jiang Wen is well-known in Hong Kong, his first movie "Sunny Day", the producer, out of the square is Wen Engraved...

In the next few works, the emperor also invested...

is definitely a first-line celebrity in the mainland!

Tianwang's schedule is very tight, his concert tour this year started in April and lasted until August, and it is estimated that even if the film starts shooting, it is impossible to stay in the crew all the time, and his schedule needs to be coordinated.

This is something that the production team considers, Lu Xiaoran only needs Andy Lau's 20-day schedule.

almost got the Heavenly King, and Lu Xiaoran went back to Beijing directly.

Hong Kong...

Forget it, he doesn't know Huang Baiming, and Tianbao should be a tender model in Ribenzen now...

......

Jiang Wen, the coffee position is very large, and the starting point is also very high.

As an actor, the two movies "Furong Town" and "Red Sorghum" are enough for him to eat for a lifetime.

As a director, "Sunny Days" and "The Devil is Coming" include "The Sun Also Rises", which was released last year and then failed miserably at the box office...

It's all good movies!

Lu Xiaoran admires him very much, whether it is as an actor or a director, and even as a person!

From the perspective of an actor, he can play any role as himself, and only Ge You, Chen Daoming, and Huang Xiaoming can do the same thing, but the first three are on the altar, and the last one...

←_←

As a director, I have been showing my spiritual world in the most awesome way I think it is, and everyone loves to watch it or not...

As a man, especially a man, what he did to Liu Xiaoqing was enough for the big black bull to study hard!

Liu Xiaoqing was arrested on suspicion of tax evasion and was in prison, and when other people were hesitating to wait and see and try their best to clear up their relationship with her, only Jiang Wen did not fall into the trap, spent a huge amount of money to hire a lawyer for him, actively raised money to pay back taxes for him, and ran for him to regain his freedom.

No matter how embarrassed he was when he rolled the sheets with Aunt Liu, who was a wife, and was caught red-handed, this approach is indeed worthy of praise: pure masters!

Black bull, honest man...

Xiao Luzi envied him very much, he could be so confident, even to the point of being a little conceited...

And I heard that he is a drama bully, to what extent is he domineering?

What do you think, "If you have something to say", Zhang Yimou was originally going to find Hou Junjie, but Jiang Wen felt that it was inappropriate, and then changed to Qu Ying...

"If You Have Something to Say", it is out of place in the Lao Mouzi movie sequence, but it is quite suitable for Jiang Wen!

So...

Lao Mouzi was also pressed by him?

The more you think about it, the more terrifying it gets...

I really want to call and ask Lu Chuan, after all, his first movie "Looking for a Gun" was cooperated with Jiang Wen, and Lu Chuan should know his temper and personality very well!

However, Jiang Wen is indeed very suitable for Huazi...

When you decide that this role is necessary, many risks are subconsciously avoided...

It is said that when Lu Chuan wrote "Looking for a Gun", he decided in his mind that Jiang Wen would be invited to play this movie, and he was the only candidate, so he tried his best to ask a friend to contact his studio, and made an appointment to visit and talk about "Looking for a Gun", but when he went to his studio, he was not there, and it was said that he was attending a film festival in Europe. So he could only helplessly put the thick script of "Looking for a Gun" on his table.

But Lu Chuan played a careful mind and put the script on the top of a stack of scripts, hoping that Jiang Wen would be the first to see "Looking for a Gun" when he came back...

Then about half a month later, Jiang Wen called him, and "Looking for a Gun" was established!

By the way, now I mention "Looking for a Gun", the name is: Jiang Wen's movie "Looking for a Gun"...

It is estimated that Lu Chuan's crying nose was forced out by Jiang Wen!

......

Jiang Wen's studio is on the street outside Chaoyangmen.

Lu Xiaoran came to the door in person...

The script of "Rescue Mr. Wu" is very rigorous - the basic logic is based on the information provided by Officer Cao Gang, and there are some documentaries.

If the logic of the real case is not correct, then... Then it's better not to write!

Jiang Wen read the script, he was very interested in the role of Huazi, and felt that he could give him more humanity...

Lu Xiaoran, who had always followed him, objected for the first time: "No, the antisocial personality has no humanity!"

This is about the narrative tone of the film...

In terms of character and personality, the gap between simple evil and evil with a hint of human kindness is too big!

There is a type of director in China who likes to dig deep into human nature and believes that everyone has a good side...

As far as you say, how can there be any goodness like Wang Lihua?

Kidnapping, killing, it's not too much to shoot such a person ten times!

Jiang Wen shook his head: "Human nature exists at all times, but it is hidden by something. ”

"Teacher Jiang, this is an adaptation of real events, what kind of person Wang Lihua is, you can check it yourself, he can still tear up the ticket after receiving the ransom, and then call arrogantly and say, 'Give me another million, I'll tell you where the body is hidden', I am not exaggerating, he is a person who has no rules, is extremely selfish and cruel!"

"You can go see a documentary where he said that the thing he regrets the most is not killing his mother!"

"Such a person doesn't need to deal with it so complicated, and the tone is hateful + domineering!"

“... But he didn't do it after all..."

"Is this called humanity?"

If you don't kill your own mother, you are called human?

What misconceptions do you have about human nature?

"So, your tone is to punish evil and promote good?"

“... Yes, this is the main premise, and then I can do other things, for example, I can scale it up, for example, at the end I want to shoot a long shot of lethal injection, which can be regarded as popularizing the law!"

When making movies in China, as long as you set the right tone and conform to positive energy, then you can do some large-scale - "The Wind" is very typical!

Jiang Wen frowned: "Shoot the death penalty process directly?"

"Our drama is agreed by the Ministry of Public Security, but the censorship department can't control it!"

“... Yes!" Jiang Wen frowned slightly, and asked tentatively: "Let me ask you a question, do you think Wu Ruofu would have been killed if he hadn't been rescued in 19 hours?"

"Definitely, it's impossible for Huazi to let a living person go!"
